Pre-paid visa card win - advice needed please

Firstly big thanks to the OP! :T

I've won a pre-paid visa card on the Visa Golden Space comp, have received my email and am just about to submit my claim.

Only thing I feel uncomfortable with is submitting the first 6 digits of my card, which is requested. I've obscured the last 3 digits which appeared on the receipt and they claim they cannot gain personal info .....should I be worried?

What have other winners done?

Thanks in advance
LM :)

    i always thought the first four numbers related to the bank/type of card you had so would think that submitting 6 out of 16 numbers should be fairly safe...? well done on the win :)
