This is the thread for 2016. The previous megathread is here.
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.

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

- 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.

My wife's account was shut down, but mine hasn't been.....yet. I'm sure it will be down soon.
I've got one last set of GCs to load. Will Kate take 'em while my card is still active?
Or, has Kate been shut down for Bluebird entirely?

No, Kate has not been shut down for BB. I just loaded $1200 on my mom's BB today.
I thought about letting people know about working Kates but then since I still have a working BB in my possession (as well as a Redbird still unconverted to Serve/BB), I will keep my mouth shut for now. Sorry.

Two previously-DOA Kates were both working last night. First transaction was a bit slow on one, but the next 3 were smooth sailing. I think one was out of commission so long, it even still the MO option button, although I didn't try it.

It's in a constant state of flux, down more often than up. Up this afternoon until the twatty overzealous front line manager accosted me 3 loads in said "Oh no you can't load more than one time, that structuring!" I replied "No it's no with a smirk and walked away as she shut the poor old girl down.
Oh well, next time I'll try again!

Not too sure why I haven't been closed down by Amex, but I'm grateful for that. So yesterday I went to load some VGC onto a BB card and I got the following message:
I thought that was odd, so I I just switched VGC, and loaded what was left on it what was $100. No problems.. So I tried again to load the VGC that came be the denial message, instead of loading $500, I just loaded $250, and it went through.. So I repeated it, and loaded the other $250. Never have I gotten that message before.. This is JUST a FYI
