Not entirely sure on the topic of safety, but I haven't had any issues with my card yet, and don't know anyone who has. My guess is that the 500 free points is basically an incentive to register your card with their system - technically, you can immediately remove your information after receiving the points, but many people won't bother doing that. Once people already have their credit cards linked, they'll be more motivated to spend money on games, since it's convenient to charge the card at that point. Moreover, those that have had a taste of exclusive items/services often start to want such things more (30 day free trials work under the same psychology), so they'll likely spend money.
