Do not view having to manually enter transactions a bad thing. Connected accounts don't always work like you would think.

 

First you need your credit card to be a cc type account in your chart of accounts. You can add it ahead of time or on the fly, every account field dropdown includes <add new> option.

 

To enter cc charges you use the Expense enter screen accessed from "+", vendors. The only specific option just for cc is Enter cc credit which is strictly for returns or discounts.

 

Record a payment to the cc company by recording a check ("+" write check) with the aforementioned cc account from your COA as the detail

 

If you reconcile the account to the statement prior to paying a popup will prompt to create a payment check

This article is 3 years old so the interface will look a little different from what you see and those pesky ads. But the video and the content will explain in more detail what I just outlined above regarding manual entry of credit card transactions
