Flavio, If you look at your bank statement for the Credit card it records both the charges you made against the account (Funds Out) and the Payments received by the bank in that period (Funds In), which in most cases will be payment of an amount for the previous periods bill and similarly the Credits to your credit account record your record of the chrges(Funds Out) and the Payments you have made in the period (Funds in).
Closing Balance= Starting Balance - Funds Out + Funds In For a good reconciliation all of the following quantities ( including the individual transactions) should match exactly between the bank's record (statement) and your record, the Credit Card account in GnuCash.
