Shoppers, we need you to take a short survey about Black Friday! (Your input will inform a future article.) For encouragement, everyone who completes the survey will have the chance to enter a special sweepstakes to win a $100 American Express gift card. If you win, use the money to shop on Black Friday... or use it to shop not on Black Friday. Your choice!

The survey closes October 9 at 11:59 pm ET, so act fast. (Like, "last $5 Black Friday toaster left in your local Walmart" fast!)
