Have I fallen for a scam?

I received an email from the address below, to my Gmail account (not my normal sky account but one I've likely used to login in the past) with my first name in it and an offer of 6months Apple TV with SKY VIP.

 

I clicked the link to redeem the offer and it took me to what did look like legit Apple page. I logged in, put in payment info (6 months free then £6.99 month after). 

Long story short, it ended up not working, possibly because I'm already on a free promotion with AppleTv. But I'm now worried I fell for a scam.  I've frozen my bank card as a precaution. 

The email address it came from is noreply-admin @ skyticketit.com (spaces added around @ to allow posting) and the link it takes you to is

https://dmanalytics2.com/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fredeem.apple.com%2Fskyq%3F6m%262MQHK6P9KV6Z%26origin&...

 

Have I fallen for a scam?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Based on this address no I don't think you have fallen for a scam because since the start of the year Sky has been running a fee 6 months of Apple TV promotion and the email address it has come from skyticketit.com is a Sky email address.

@katemcmorris  It's a legitimate email.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
