how to apply store rebate cards for purchases

There's probably a simple way to do this and I'm missing it.   I purchase items at a store that offers mail-in rebates, essentially it's a "store credit" certificate, almost like "free money".  I purchased items totalling $16.99 with a rebate certificate valued at $17.95, leaving a balance of $0.14.  What's the best way to record this?
