Furthermore, the fine print says "This e-mail was sent because your employer has a business relationship with American Express Global Business Travel." Well, good for me, because at my hotel I stated it was a business trip and thus avoided the 5 % extra tax. But in reality, I contacted TallinkSilja and SMT issued the ticket. Nothing to do with AmEx.
SMT is the representative of American Express Global Business Travel in Finland so that explains - they handle everything and tickets are issued by SMT.
