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

noob ?
Finally found a place to live with WM kiosks that work (2/3).
Went to CVS and bought a 1v with a cc, no problem, came back and bingo good for MO.
Took the rejected cards to counter and paid AA CC with 3 cards, the clerk couldn't figure out how to do 1998.12 with 4 swipes, only 498.12 x4 so I spent a couple extra dollars.
Any instructions for the clerks how to run $1998.12 with 4 swipes?

I tried searching, and couldn't fine a thread that talks about rapid reload...bloggers only talk about bluebird. I'm sure this is probably a silly question, but couldn't find any info except somebody saying debit cards do work.
A. I see there are a ton of cards that can be loaded at the register/kiosk for a 3.74 fee. They can all be loaded with debit... a $500 vanilla? Or even $1000+ if indiv. card limit allows?
B. Bancorp has put me on their pest list, and won't allow me to load moneypaks to several of their cards... so they are currently useless. If I can do debit reloads at walmart, would they shut me down there too?
C. If this is all possible, is it the 3.74 fee that makes this unattractive to others?

Can someone please tell me how to enter my pin #?
After I confirm the amount I want to load it'll ask for my pin into a long rectangular box, after I enter it, it asks for my pin again, but this time instad of a rectangular box its a bunch of underscores. When I enter my pin again it just deletes my entry.
Asked CS but they didn't know

This is the sign of a broken kiosk. Search this thread for "9 digit PIN" to find previous reports. No workaround so far other than having the kiosk repaired.

Furthermore, I can't help but feel this elitist vibe from many who post here. For some, this $8 an hour provides them with all their needs. Their satisfied and live a happy life. Who are we to judge or bring up their $8 an hour job?
I've seen CEOs who make tons of money not understand the basic workings of their company. I've also seen CEOs live less fulfilling life's than people making minimum wage. Money is relative once your basic needs are met.

today Kate was out of money at a new WM I decided to try...asked the MC worker to just sign in and clear the error so I could load my BB(s)...she said 'oh, I can do that here' everything was going smoothly until she goes what kind of debit card are you using because we don't allow those 'fancy' gift cards without your name on it...I played dumb and said could we load $500 and she refused...I'm getting annoyed at all the WMs in town playing this game...I need a Kate who will work for me or find a new avenue
