Note that that there is no need to do this and you can't change the payment order of the account balance anyway. It is always used first (i.e., it is always the default method). From this support article --> How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support

"Which payment method is charged?

When you buy items or pay for subscriptions, Apple automatically attempts to charge your payment methods in this order:


1. Apple attempts to use your Apple ID balance to cover the full amount.

etc.
