[GNC] Consolidated billing of two credit cards

[Joseph St. Denis]

I get a consolidated bank statement but each account as different account numbers so I keep the accounts separated. When I transfer funds from the different accounts the transactions are seamless transferred within Gnucash using the banks QIF.

All the best

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
