Switching region linked to Appstore

Question

Switching region linked to Appstore

Hey guys!

Previously I had a gift card and i'm left with $0.04AUD in my account. This is linked to my Australian Mastercard that has already expired. Since I've left the country there's no way for me renew the card, and I'm not allowed to switch to another other cards since the system doesn't allow that. And $0.04 is too little to purchase anything.

The main problem I'm facing right now is switching the region of Appstore. Because the balance has not been reduced to nil, I'm unable to make changes to the region. Hope you guys out there have a solution/suggestion to my problem!

Regads,

Liz
