The telephone numbers, by the way, are all the same - some sites have phone numbers and others don't. You get to know which ones do have them after a while - paste the phone number into a word document and then just copy and paste into the task once you know which ones need phone numbers

Just to say you really don't need to do this, just say no you can't find a telephone number and it still accepts it fine

They want you to answer the questions honestly and they also want people to navigate to the pages with the phone numbers if possible. I know it's a pain but they only included this part of the task recently and I believe it was because people weren't staying on the sites long enough to be of any value to them. They are trying to boost their rankings in Google and if people find ways to do the tasks more quickly they'll just keep adding questions or start kicking people off the tasks.

Very strange this morning - my daily goal in Internet Explorer showed as 50, but in Firefox and Chrome it was showing as 60 - even refreshing the browsers and logging in and out of swagbucks didn't change it. Anyway, managed to get 60sb from casino tasks, search (14sb for New Years Honours List), home page videos and a couple of games. Just refreshed Firefox and Chrome again and the goal has now changed to 50 in line with IE. So goal met which is good because we are visiting relatives for the day

Agreed, but when I looked for it when they first started asking the question I couldn't find it so said no. I wasn't saying it as a blag, just that I couldn't find it!

Yes, mrsyardbroom, there's definitely a reason why they have suddenly started asking the additional questions. I've a feeling that it's somehow to get around Google's T & Cs. I always navigate to the 24/7 help pages, but have the phone number already copied, so that it's just a matter of pasting it into the box each time. The same with the number of games listed - I always put the number in - (there is one where the number of games changes every so often)

There are one or two that don't have phone numbers (at least I cannot find them, anyway) - the Safe online one, the Top 10 list one and there's a third one that I cannot think of right now (they are the ones that are more like blogs than actual casino sites)

My goal has changed from 60 to 50 in Chrome. I've now got the target. 57/50.:j

Good morning all

Nice low target today, on 21/50 from searches, NOSO, daily poll, Sky video and Lorax video. Will do some tasks and leave it there I think.

Still no closer to finishing the Collectors Bills- 5/8. Not going to make it now

Hooray, finally got the snowman to finish the collector's bills!

I only need Cookies to finish the collectors bills! x
