If you’re importing both the bank account and credit card account via ofx, the 
only way you’ll get duplicate is if you tell gnucash to create a duplicate.

The credit card bill payment is a single transaction with two splits — one in 
the bank account and one in the credit card account. Since ofx files are 
generally single-account controlled, both the bank account and the credit card 
account ofx files  have a transaction for the payment. When you import the 
second ofx file, you need to check the “R” box for the payment in the General 
Import Transaction Matcher window (or “U+R” if you’re OK with undo manipulation 
of your entries). If  you check the “A” box for the same transaction in both 
imports, you’ll get two copies of the same transaction because you have asked 
gnucash to create the duplicate.

If you do a manual entry in Gnucash for the payment before you download and 
import the ofx file (I usually do it this way), then you’ll check the “R” box 
in the matcher window from both ofx files.
