How to redeem balance in Apple Account?

I have a balance showing in my Apple Account. It’s been sitting in my account for years and I stumbled upon today. I’ve made many iTunes purchases over the last year and don’t understand why this account hasn’t been depleted. When I access Payment Methods on my iPhone, select my Apple Account which is listed before my credit card, and select Redeem, it wants a code or use my camera to scan a code. I don’t have neither, so how can I use these funds for Apple purchases?

iPhone 12 Pro
