For those of us who are paranoid about clicking links that lead us to forms asking for our passwords, you can go to Google yourself, log in, click on your picture (or icon), choose "my account" and look in the panel at the left side for "security checkup".
I completed this , and i didn't see anything indicating that I got the extra space.

Success! I tried again today, and after completion, at the end of the page, on the same page was a small font message saying I got the 2GB for the 2015 security thing. I almost missed it.
Thanks for helping us look out for your security. We'll let you know if we ever see anything fishy, and you should feel free to run this checklist again whenever you want.

This is what I get when finished. Does not say anything about extra storage

If you go to https://www.google.com/settings/storage it will show you how much storage you have now. Mine shows 17 GB after I did the checkup (I was at 15 GB before)

To help celebrate Safer Internet Day 2016, we added 2 GB of free Drive storage to your Google account because you completed the Security Checkup.
Without a doubt!
Thank you!
