For those who may not know ... It's also possible simply to change the wrong credit card to the right one, directly in the original transaction. If you do it in the account register for the wrong account, the transaction will disappear from that register (and appear in the correct account's register, if you have it open) as soon as you press Enter to commit the transaction. There are two main philosophies around correcting transactions. One thinks in pen-and-ink terms and so will enter a correcting transaction: in the case of a credit-card transaction that means a debit to the wrong account and credit to the correct account. The other will correct an error by editing the original transaction as outlined above. (Some people will edit a recent transaction but not a transaction that was entered months ago. That's my own approach.) For people's personal finances, it's a matter of taste which approach to use. I just mentioned editing an old transaction as another possibility.
