How to clear iTunes credit in order to change Apple store country

[Kim456]

Hello Apple fanatics! So ive just joined the team but have a small problem. I used to live in the uk and have a uk Apple id with 0.05 pence remaining. I now live in the netherlands and want to change the Apple id to the netherlands. In order to do so however you have to spend all your itunes credit.. But for 0.05 theres nothing available in the store and i can only pay the remaining amount of an app with a uk credit card, which i dont have. How can i empty my account or change otherwise? Thanks for your help!

You will need to create a new account for the netherlands, it doesn't matter whats on UK account.

thats not true... You can change stores easily when you have zero credit.

But he won't be able to buy anything ( even free stuff) unless he creates a Dutch account.
