Have anyone tried buying GC on a self checkout?

It was clear to me that there is some sort of limit, because I was watching what the CSR was doing and it said - validating limit with DL, and the sort. So there seems to be one, but at 4K a day - I never reached it.
I bought ALL my cards at the self checkout lane - really nice people at the Smith's I used.

Are there tried and true data points somewhere here? There seem to be varied experiences described all over the map.
I will be in W. TN next week, after all.
If one has info on their K visit within the "Delta" K region, please share. Also, the Mid-south region because the store near the airport is in that grouping, ie, BNA. Since I won't be in a hurry when I arrive, I could stop there, instead.
1. When does this catalina coupon expire again? 7/17?
2. Was it one Visa/MC Variable purchased that prompted the catalina or two?
3. How many GC transactions that meet the catalina criteria can one obtain in one visit? Does the catalina have a "Buy $XX, Get $5 off" restriction? Or is it straight out, get $5 off next visit?
I have a disabled sister there. Might be helpful to accumulate a few of these.
4. How many catalina coupons can be used per grocery buying transaction? Experience vs. recommended appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Southeast, but I doubt region would matter for this
1. When does this catalina coupon expire again? 7/17?
15th last date to buy. Expiration 2 weeks from purchase.
2. Was it one Visa/MC Variable purchased that prompted the catalina or two?
One prompted. Performed consecutive transactions. Keep in mind that if you only purchase 1 and nothing prints you are out of luck. You didn't technically meet the requirement so you have no grounds to complain. - When I visited the U scans I was hoping to notice a register with a freshly printed Catalina so I would know it was good to go. However none of them were active so I had to 'roll the dice' (Green light on printer is a good indication)
3. How many GC transactions that meet the catalina criteria can one obtain in one visit? Does the catalina have a "Buy $XX, Get $5 off" restriction? Or is it straight out, get $5 off next visit?
As many as they will sell you. Must spend over $5

4. How many catalina coupons can be used per grocery buying transaction? Experience vs. recommended appreciated.
register is programmed to allow only one $5 catalina. However I see nothing on the coupon to indicate a per transaction limit. When I asked to re-ring my order in $5 increments the cashier manually overrode the additional coupons. I have no idea if there is a upper maximum as I have multiple Kroger cards and can alternate as needed.
Thanks in advance.

stop being stupid raccah and at least pay attn to the context. No one is talking about how many coupons you can get from buying GCs. that might be unlimited.
we are talking about how many $5 off coupons you can redeem in one day. and rossrr found that to be 5 tracked by K card.

I bought $500 GC this afternoon without scanning my Kroger card. It did not print $5 coupon. Have anyone tried today?
