Blizzard finally decided to tell us a way that will almost guarantee us to get a promotion
About time if you ask me! :D

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3947374/Climbing_the_Ladder_How_to_Earn_a_League_Promotion-11_15_2011#c-3595509581

Each new ladder season, we see many players on the community forums asking, “What do I need to do to earn a League promotion?” This post should provide you with enough information to answer that question.

One way to almost guarantee a promotion by next season is to earn the number of division ladder points given in the corresponding table entry below by December 13, in anticipation of a December 20 season roll.*

Q: Is this the only way to be promoted?
A: No, this is just one fairly reliable way. Some players may be promoted before reaching this number, and a rare few may remain in their current league after reaching the value. This rare few can expect a mid-season promotion if they maintain their skill level during the next season.

Q: How do I get my ladder points that high?
A: The only way to gain these points is to win more than you lose for a sustained period. For example, if you look at your match history and have won at least 12 of your last 20 games, you’re on the right track. Keep it up!

*Note:This assumes season 4 ends the week of December 19. This date is subject to change.

Target ladder point values for next season promotion, by region:

i believe the difference in points between regions is related to server population.

I'm at 843 points... so at an average of 12 points per day from bonus pool (starting today till Dec 19), that is 35 days * 12 points = 420 points. Damn, only 1263... I'm still short about 140 points to GM

So really anyone who is at 980 points or higher right now in NA Masters is playing at a GM level (assuming no bonus pool).

We should have a table for when to expect to get demoted.

You guys are doing it wrong: The points Blizz is talking about is not the points that you are having (at least I think). Else their statement that you have to win over 50% of the time for a long period of time wouldn't make sense. If I play 1 game every day my bonuspool is more than enough to gain me a steady income of points if I keep a 50% winrate. So I guess they are talking about other points. Also it would be stupid to need more points to get from Bronze to Silver then from Silver to Gold.

Is there a way to see how many points you have currently?

No, they're talking about points. Your bonus pool is probably not enough to get you over that level by the end of the season. So that's where winning over 50% of the time comes in.

Also each division is different, it doesn't matter that you need more points from B -> S than S -> G because when you get promoted your point total changes, if I remember correctly.

I play like at most 20 games a season, though I win more than I lose. Does that mean I'll never be promoted?

No it'll just take a lot longer than one season for you to get promoted.

The new figures they've released are just a way of measuring the current system, the system itself hasn't changed.

Yes go to SC2, click on leagues and ladders, and under points are your points!
