You are perhaps confusing file type with data withing that file. You say 
that you downloaded the file asking it be delivered for "Quicken 2018 
and above" What is your reasoning to expect THAT (data intended for some 
sort of bookkeeping that is NOT double entry bookkeeping) to be correct 
data for gnucash (data intended for standard double entry bookkeeping)

Well a credit card "account" of that sort is standard for business 
credit cards (a master card number, perhaps not used to charge anything, 
and some number of individual child cards which are. That way whoever is 
doing the record keeping can see what is being charged on each card but 
pays to the master number. That is NOT just for business. Thus in my own 
case, I have a card (and it's the master number) and my wife has a card 
with a different number but actually the same account. When I get a 
statement, the charges for both card numbers are listed separately but 
the total, and payments. etc. just on the master account number.

Since I have not yet switched that to online, I have no idea what the 
file would look like if I asked MasterCard to provide a file instead of 
paper statement.
