It helps identify that you are the Apple ID owner. Helps verify your identity.

Thank you, Eric. I can't help wondering how Apple got my credit card number in the first place. Since they obviously have it, I suppose there is no harm in my confirming it.

You are welcome. Has the credit card been added to you account as a payment method for the App Store/iTunes?
