[GNC] Consolidated billing of two credit cards

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm in the camp that would just use a single split transaction payment 
and leave the accounts as-is, if not for the very least, that the bank 
still treats them as separate accounts. They can change how they present 
the statement on a whim. (as they have clearly already done once)

I always attempt to model the real world in my accounting as closely as 
possible.

If it helps with reconciliation, you can put them under a placeholder 
parent account, and opt to include sub-accounts during reconciliation.

Regards,
Adrien
