Actually 3 splits - 1 for each of the amounts of the 2 invoices, and 1 for the remainder, then on the other side of the transaction the $600 from Liabilities:Credit Card.

In this case, I suppose I could create a separate bill with only the convenience of $3.49 and include that as one of the bills I pay with he 603.49 payment, since that fee appears on no written statement I have received.
