German term or phrase: Akzeptanzstelle
"Die XYZ Kreditkarte ist in x Millionen ****Akzeptanzstellen*** weltweit gern gesehen.

Gemeint sind Geschäfte, Hotels, Restaurants, Fluggesellschaften, Autovermieter etc.

Ich habe gesehen, dass der Begriff bereits einmal angefragt wurde. Die Übersetzung "acceptance facility" scheint mir jedoch eher auf Automaten als auf Geschäfte etc. zu passen.
Wer kann helfen?

Klaus,

I would not add "partner". Any of the answers here work, though my preference is of course businesses or outlets (which I gave as alternative).

Explanation:
I would actually reword this to get around the problem. This seems to be the way that a lot of credit card companies are expressing this idea:

Cards issued by Barclaycard Business are VISA cards and accepted at over 30 million outlets worldwide and over 660,000 in the UK.

agree  Nicole Schnell: American Express simply says: places. Why not? Besides high-dime addresses it is supposed to include the suburban post office as well as the fast food restaurant. What's your opinion?

  -> Thanks, Nicole / Outlets, places.... I've seen "locations", too. I think it has to come down to personal preference!
