I'm curious about people's previous experiences (since the T&Cs are silent on this, as far as I can tell) ...
Do AC metal flights count, even if booked through an intermediary airline? (i.e. I've got a multi-segment flight booked with United, but one segment, DCA-YUL, is on AC metal, and I'm curious if that will count in my favor.)
Although looking at the badge description for DCA, "Awarded when you take off or land in Washington D.C. – Dulles." (an airport AC doesn't even fly to) ... I don't hold out much hope. ;-)

The first mystery badge has been revealed and goes into effect next week. It provides an additional 2500 or 5000 wings depending on how people vote this week per 6 Canada/U.S. Segments booked on or after September 15th. The 2500 number would apply to any fare, while the 5,000 number would apply to Flex and higher.
Personally I voted for the 5k Flex+ option.
On another note, it looks like we are all competing with Superman for top honours in EYW 3.

After you vote, it shows you the current %s. As of now it's 62% Flex, 37% Tango. Given that this is only for Altitude members, I'm surprised that anyone would vote Tango.
I'm now holding off any bookings until September 15th!

Refreshes in the last couple contests were very sporadic. Usually occurred once or twice a week, but not necessarily on set intervals.

I suspect that there will be a new badge revealed each week for the next 3 weeks as the booking window for the contest narrows. I also wouldn't be surprised if mystery badge #2 targets international segments and badge #3 is both general in scope and the most generous of the three, but with a very narrow (1 week or possibly less) booking window.
