What would you prefer? "Refund" is the most likely alternative I can
think of, and "Rebate" is pretty close to synonymous.
Anyway, it only has that if
I'll second Michael's take on the labels.
This thread is a good example of why they aren't so 'friendly'. Sure
I'll bet lots of folks use them with no issues, but when something out
of the ordinary happens, 'Debit/Credit' (Dr. & Cr. for short) is much
more sane and helpful.

The other question is why does expenses:travel have 'rebate' as a

Because you asked gnucash to show you supposedly more user friendly
column headers instead of the formal "debit" and "credit". In other
words, you chose that option (or accepted that default). But IMHO if
OK, no problem with writing to help.
The original entry is just an 'ordinary' entry of an expense, on a
specific date. No issues.
However, having removed the original error from the credit card a/c I
tried to make an entry in the travel a/c as a 'rebate' as that was the
only option

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?
On the contrary, the preference I mentioned could very well show a
negative balance and this would be proper. (not contra)
Try toggling the preference yourself with a Liability account open and
you'll see the balance change from negative to positive.
The question is what does the user prefer

If you want to use the formal accounting labels you can set it in the
Preferences in the Accounts tab of the dialog. You can swap between the two
preferences to get the specific meaning of the payment and charge headings for a
specific account type.

I translated them as payment to the bank/credit card company; spend on
the credit card and the balance after entries in one or the other.
Do I change the headings? or am I in the wrong sort of register or type
of a/c? or are the entries

Hi,
I am sure this is explained somewhere, but I haven't been able to find a
simple explanation.
I have a register of transactions in an a/c called credit card.
I enter the data from the monthly statement, allocating them to various
expenses and enter the monthly payment from a bank account.

If the payment already is there but unassigned, then simply select both it and
the bill in the process payment window and it will get applied. Otherwise, that
will hang around as a ‘pre-payment’ in limbo.
If the unassigned payment is not supposed to be there,

Get into the transaction, tab to the debit, delete it. Enter the same amount in
