With a US card, I assume it is not a chipped card?
Thanks for this and thanks to others who have replied -- very helpful. It was a chipped card, but it seems what you wrote above is probably what happened. Since then I've seen a couple of terminals where pressing the red box on the screen is a matter of jamming a fingernail in just the right way. Two merchants have done it, understanding what was going on, but it wasn't easy to press.
