[GNC] Reconciling credit card

[Mahon Finbar]

Another possibility?

In March 2021 I was reimbursed 1,340.98 by an airline for a trip to 
Japan which was cancelled due to Covid.

In error I entered the reimbursement against my credit card, although I 
had paid it from my bank.

That would account for the 'credit' on the credit card?

However, the original spend was allocated to 'expenses' > travel. When I 
try to rectify it as a rebate on the expenses a/c the column option is 
'rebate' but it appears twice, as an expense and a rebate and the 
expenses a/c does not reflect the reduction in the outgoings?

Why?
