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 Urban: 8:07am Sep 7, 2006: Brigitte und Hermann - "Points-of-sale" und "businesses" sind MÖGLICHE Akzeptanzstellen. Woran erkenne ich aber, dass dieses business bzw. dieser point-of-sale MEINE Karte akzeptiert? Ich habe mir inzwischen mit "partner biusinesses" geholfen, bin damit aber noch nicht ganz glücklich.

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).

point-of-sale

Explanation:
Das ist zumindest der Ausdruck, den eine Kartenorganisation (Lieblingsfarben: blau und gold) verwendet. Ich habe vor ein paar Monaten einen entsprechenden Text aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche übersetzt.

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.
