I recently bought a gift card for an online shopping account, and though I have registered the card with the account, I have yet to actually buy anything with it. Thus right now I have money sitting in my account, ready to be expended, and already committed, in the sense that though I haven’t purchased any goods, I have already purchased them - since the only direct purchase involved in all of this (that of the gift card) has already been made.
Say it’s been a year since my purchase and the money is still sitting in my account unused, and I’ve been itching to use it up, since I already paid. What would fit the blank if I framed my sentence thus? “I want to _______ the money I have on that account.”
I’m looking for something a bit more sophisticated than “make use of” - maybe even jargonistic, if such jargon exists (say in finance, business, etc.).

You can use the balance on that gift card to pay, but it's not really considered money anymore.

To “make use of” something (available to you) is to consume it.
“I want to consume the money I have on that account.”

I think you want to "apply" or "utilize" the money in your account. If you want to use it all up - you might then want to "exhaust" the money in the account.

"utilize" is often used when "used" works just as well, and this seems like such a case to me.
