Did you receive the $50 cash? Or as a credit on your card?
If your card was credited, enter it as a negative purchase in your ABC
Credit Card Account, reducing your Transportation Expense. You will owe $50
less to ABC, and it should be reflected as a credit on your next statement.
If it was a cash refund to you, add it to your Cash on Hand or your checking
account, just like you would any other cash receipt, again reducing
Transportation Expense. No need to post anything to your ABC account. You
will still owe the full $100 that was charged on the card. The credit card
company won't know or care about the cash refund.
