Is this a scam? SEE DESCRIPTION?

So I was just flicking through Snapchat stories when I came across a sponsored advert for "National Consumer Center". It said that if I collect 100 points, I can receive a free iPhone X. My first thought was it must be a scam. However, it was advertised and sponsored by Snapchat, this made me intrigued. I swiped up to the link on my phone and I was taken to a 3 question survey. I answered all 3 questions, they asked if I want the newest iPhone and what my age was. I can't remember the 3rd question. Anyway, it then did the typical scam website thing of "generating item number" however, I wasn't asked to complete a survey. I was asked to enter my shipping address. This is where I stopped. I'm not sure whether to trust it and put my address in or decide I was right to assume it was a scam. The only reason I'm even considering trusting this is because Snapchat have sponsored and advertised this. Any thoughts on whether to trust it or not? Cheers
