Product: Credit card or prepaid card

I initially applied for Delta Gold Skymiles Card during their promotional period ( should be described here XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), which ended on XX/XX/XXXX. I filled out the application and got an approval email back, thinking I signed up for the Gold Card. 

The approval email is here, but makes no mention of which card I signed up for ( can provide full email headers if needed, but this is the text - with my personal info redacted ) : -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - Notification Your Card Approval Your Account Number Ending : - XXXX XXXX : XXXX Dear [ My Name ] [ My Name ] Member Since : Today!

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - Found out after I received the card that they signed me up for their Blue Card ( which had no promotional offer ). They also never asked me what the credit limit should be in the process of the application ( automatically assigned 25k to the card, which is far more than I would have wanted for this card ). 

I thought that this would be a simple fix, but apparently not. My wife and I called customer service to get the signed up for the appropriate Gold Card w/ the promotional offer that we signed up for originally, and wasted over an hour on the phone with them. I was transferred at least 6 times ( back and forth between their Application line and Customer Service ). I was also refused when I asked to speak to management about the issue ( and subsequently sent back to their phone tree ), and then later told I wouldn't be able to upgrade the card to Gold anyhow until a number of months had elapsed. 

I eventually requested to cancel the card ( because I never signed up for it ), and then they told me that it would impact my credit by cancelling ( which is probably due to the the high credit limit that they gave me ) My wife then called them back and requested to file a complaint with them and then that also went nowhere.
