How can I remove my Apple ID balance to change my country?

I have moved from Canada to the US and have a balance of $0.21 on my account which prevents me from changing the country. Can you please remove this amount in order for me to update my location?

I would like to update my contact information and country in order to add a new payment method. At this time I cannot do anything with my account.

If you have an Apple Account balance that you can’t use

You can't redeem or return Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards or unused Apple ID balance for cash, except as required by law. If your jurisdiction allows the refund of redeemed gift balances, you can contact Apple Support to request a refund

When you contact Apple, include the following information:
