Kate will only allow load totals up to $1999.99 every 10 minutes. It does not matter if it was you or the person before you. If you go over that limit, Kate will freeze. Sept 2015- Several people have reported the 10 minute limit is now longer than 10. Not sure how much longer yet. Several Kate's have locked up following the old 10 minute rule.
9 digit pin problem - Sometimes, for unknown reasons, after you swipe your card and enter your pin, MCE will ask you for a 9 digit pin. To date, no one knows why this happens, or has a fix for it.
If it repeatedly asks you for a pin, this is the same as the 9 digit pin problem and there is no fix.
Unplugging and re-booting by a supervisor doesn't fix this problem.
For consistent MCE issues, use the WM feedback link to report:
https://corporate.walmart.com/contac...orate-feedback
Select 'store experience' and be sure to include the store number and address. If you include your name and phone number the stores sometimes call when it is working again. Do not abuse this as it may lead to your MCE being removed.

How to shut Kate up by sosamo
- Before you press anything, plug the headphones into the jack near the pinpad
- The touchscreen will "gray" out, and you won't be able to press anything.
- Press '3' on the pinpad
- Press 'Enter' on the pinpad
- Continue business as usual on the touch screen.

I loaded $1999.99 and then waited for 12 minutes, then loaded $500 successful, on the 2nd $500 load it got locked up asking for approval.
Has the timer changed from 8-10mins to something else?
This has happened to me for 3 times at different WM locations.
I'm in SoCal.

or
Load 500 x 2, wait 5-6 mins, load 500.

I think there is a secondary velocity limit in addition to the <$2K in 10 min limit.
I waited at least 10 min in between each set of loads, but the kiosk locked up at the third $500 load on the fourth round (so at ~$7K to $7.5K in 1 hr).
In the future, I will just stick to doing 2 x $2K at the maximum, with $1K loaded at the register.

Stupid question but my search did not find it. Is there a time limit for money orders at a Kate like there is for BB loading? I have so many AGC's coming and will need to offload them faster than the $5K per month on both cards.

When the manager came over, I was glad it was something other than velocity.
