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
  1. Before you press anything, plug the headphones into the jack near the pinpad
  2. The touchscreen will "gray" out, and you won't be able to press anything.
  3. Press '3' on the pinpad
  4. Press 'Enter' on the pinpad
  5. Continue business as usual on the touch screen.

Note: If you ever make a mistake, to get out, just unplug the headphone.

$2500 is the daily max.

Not at my Walmart. The cashiers have been accepting my VGC's on a routine basis, including today.

My 2 Kates near me will only accept $1999.99 max a day, but I can do an extra $500 at CS or at a cashier that knows what they are doing.

That might be the daily max in union city CA, but not where I live.

2500 is the max at all the Kate's in my area. Its interesting that each Kate can have its only daily limit and velocity limit. Keep the knowledge coming

On the Kate screen before loading Bluebird, I see a message saying $1,000 load limit per day. It's not true, however, but on occasion, we do get stopped at $1,000. Sometimes we get stopped at $1,800 ($300 X 6). We are always happy to get more loaded than the $1,000 the kate says in that initial screen.

What do you mean when you say "we get stopped"?

BB's load limit used to be 1k/day, now it's 2500/day. Kate is just giving you old information.
