Question

I got an email saying I won a $100 gift card from a survey I completed - is it legit?

About a month ago, I got an email from Intuit asking to complete a survey (right after I finished my taxes) and that I would be eligible to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card (1 of 10 possible).

 

Today, I received an email that I had won.  How do I verify if that is actually real?

 

Seems legit as:

 

1. I got a survey after I completed my return (which is something companies do)

2. The gift card worked (meaning, the code worked) - granted, I clicked on a link (like a dummy) vs. going directly to the site and then entering the code (as, I didn't initially notice the code was in the email).

 

Thanks

To add - 

 

After realizing my potential mistake, I setup duel factor authentication on my Amazon account.  So, at most there was a 5-10 min window - where someone might have my credentials.

 

My plan is to just monitor my credit cards - and I already have my credit frozen.
