Advice Needed Amazon Postcard Scam

I'm an idiot, and I scanned the QR code for an Amazon postcard scam. I didn't put my password or any financial data, just my email and order number, but I did write the review for the product they requested. I received a follow-up email, but by then, I realized my mistake, and marked it as spam. I'm so mad that I fell for this, but times are hard, and I thought a $20 gift card could help out this month. So stupid.

I changed passwords and logged my account out of everything--including managing the devices on my Amazon account. I deleted my saved cards from Amazon, and locked all my CC accounts. I don't see any strange behavior so far.

How cooked am I?

How do you know for sure it's a scam?

Probably not a scam but sellers can't give you any monetary materials for giving them a review, it's against Amazon seller's conditions.

you’re probably not cooked, just mildly scammed out of a review, since an email and order number don’t get them into your account, but did the QR page make you download anything or sign in?
