Accelerator Badge links to U.S. site and USD

I'm on the new Accelerator Badge page (link from email)

http://earnyourwings.aircanada.com/en/newbadge2

I enter Leaving From as YYZ, enter Going To LAX, click Search and immediately notice the prices for my dates are too low (ha).

I see in the upper right corner the little U.S. flag, do a temporary booking and notice the total dollars is USD

I've tried 3 different Canadian departure cities and all link to the U.S. site

I went back to my browser favorites, clicked AC and got my usual Canadian site

If you're are booking via the badge link and not paying attention to the currency, you'll be billed in USD.

I did click the Convert to Canadian Dollars button and the total amount when converted is higher than if you book directly on the Canadian site

Anyone lese getting the U.S. site and USD?
