Answer
You asked my advice. I'm telling you that no reputable company would need your credit card number to award you a prize. These scams are common all over the net.

Do some research on "phishing" or "internet scams" and you can confirm what I said. Plug the company name into Google or your favorite search engine and see what comes up.
