[GNC] Credit Card Rewards Refund

[Steve Welch]

One further thought:  treating rewards as a negative expense will mask the true cost of whatever was purchased.  If you stop using your rewards card, suddenly your apparent expenses will go up. 

Both professionally and personally I generally prefer to not muddy expense accounts with negative entries unless it really makes sense.

The rebate isn't subtracted from each charge, but accumulates in the card account as "Reward Points" until I cash them in.  The amount is then credited to the card account as a payment.  Should such payments be recorded as income or as a negative expense?
