Unrelated, but there have been so many stories of Jews and issues on planes over the past year and no video recordings. Boggles my mind as that's the first thing I would do.
In many instances, pulling out a camera will escalate a situation you are trying to deescalate.

Very true, I believe most people would take that as some sort of confortation. Then again when you  are at the point that it needs to be recorded, the situation has already escalated.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Yo can easily download a secret video recorder app.

It can come to use many times such as when being pulled over by police. If you'll pull out your camera app it'll usally escalate the situation or at least make awkward, it's just better IMHO in most cases just to secretly record and if you'll need it on a later date you'll have it.

Make sure it's legal to record secretly wherever you are. NY and NJ are 1 party consent states.

Call me crazy, but that would have been my first instinct ;D
How would that help you? Revenge? They'd never even know... nor will it get any compensation at all... You'll just end up without the card, and they'll continue business as usual.

Some things you can learn. Others you are just born with.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Basically, you have a widget on your home screen or wherever and when you click it, it starts recording without opening a live view on your screen. No one around you will k ow your recording and you can set it to use front or back camera's.

If you have a car phone holder and get pulled, face it towards the window and your good to go without anyone knowing your recording.

Likely front desk rep says ok let me cancel that for you... she cancels card, now what?
Also, a manager at card member services is reveiwing the case, I am just not sure what to push for at this point....

"Likely front desk rep says ok let me cancel that for you... she cancels card, now what?"

I second the above-  @Dan it will make you feel good but canceling the card at the front desk is not going to do anything - almost everything can be taken care of retroactively and the best thing for OP to do is keep escalating and if that takes emailing 9 execs and then overnighting for $15 a fedex complaint to the CEO (there are tried and proven ways for complaining without having to have media coverage) then so be it but he will likely get something better the $50 and definitely, in this case, the same thing he would have gotten if a video went viral of a simple encounter of someone being told a food policy and being kicked out and just treated a bit unprofessional. 

 I don't think OP did anything wrong...also regarding making a video, sometimes videos can bite you as it may despite ones best behavior may you look like the villian.

The main issue here is the unprofessionalism of the staff...a policy is a policy but to walk away from someone and refuse to give a name or prove the said policy is ridiculous.
