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?

Credit accounts normally have a negative balance. If you want to see them as positive change the setting in Preferences > Accounts > Reversed balanced accounts to "Credit accounts".

If that is already set, and you see a negative balance for *any* account, then that account currently has a 'contra-balance', that is, a balance opposite of its normal state. In this case, it would indicate an over-payment to the card company.

That is what I do, so why am I getting an increased -ve balance in the balance column, like this?

or this?


the bank account entry looks like this, under the 'payments out and payments in' columns
