When you first process the first transaction of the credit card
payment, set the category as a transfer to the other ( credit card
or bank account), or use the equivalent "SPECIAL Credit Card
Payment" category. When you process the second transaction,Money
should match it. Be careful to not just Accept if Money did not
find the match on its own for some reason. Click Change and match
it to the transfer you already made if Money did not match it for
you. I would consider this the classic of the ways I like. Note
that for this you would *not* use the Money "EXPENSE Credit Card
Payment". I would Delete that category.

For existing transactions that are already accepted, convert one to
a transfer and Void/Delete the other.

If you don't see the SPECIAL Transfer category at the bottom of the
list, switch to advanced register. One way is
Tools-> Settings-> AccountSettings-> DisplayAllAccountsInTheAdvancedRegister

Default Linking Accounts

I hope this makes sense so here goes. Is there a way of linking accounts so
that when I pay my credit card bill from my checking account, the amounts
cancel each other out so that they do not appear on my spending by category.

Thanks
Doug
