Where a salesperson materially mis-represents the product being sold and the conditions for the sale are buried in the Terms and Conditions, there are precedents for courts to find that the sale is invalid. The key is the tape, as the OP claims that he stated at least 10 times that it was his intention to achieve gold status.
I am less familiar with the law in the US, but in the UK, the tape of the call is covered by the Data Protection Act and for a small fee, Delta would be ordered to release a copy or transcript of the call. If similar protections exist in the US, I would purse this avenue and then take my chances in small claims court.
