It sounds like this was a very short-term loan, less than a month, and I assume you are on a cash basis and you are not going to be using your dad's card on a regular basis.
You can create a Dad liability account but if this is a one-time use, you are just adding more data in QBO than required. If you are a construction-type business, you will have lots of data and eventually, QBO will slow down on you with all the calculations in the background.
The steps I would follow:
1. Get your dad to give you a copy of the credit card statement with all his personal transactions blacked out.
2. Summarize the transactions on the credit card into the different categories. For example, if you spend $35 at Home Depot and $65 at Walmart for job supplies, put $100 as the total for job supplies. Do this for each category.
3. Go to QBO and enter a bill to your dad with the breakdown you calculated above.
4. Match the check payment to that bill.
Hope this helps.
