It sounds like the CC company is passing the same account ID in the new OFX files so GnuCash is just associating it with the old account. That's actually what I'd want, but I can understand why you might want something different. Unfortunately I don't know of anywhere in the UI that the OFX account association is exposed for editing so that you could delete the existing one and point new imports at a different account.
