German term or phrase: wo überall
Es geht um die Einsatzmöglichkeiten einer Kreditkarte.
In einem Gesprächsleitfaden für Call Centre representatives heißt eine Empfehlung für den Kunden:

"Schauen Sie doch einfach unter www.xyz.de nach und Sie werden sehen, ***wo überall*** Sie Ihre Karte einsetzen können.

"where all over" klingt mir sehr nach Lübke-Englich.

neutral  Armorel Young: I don't think you can use universally in that way - if you can use it universally you can use it everywhere in the world, so you couldn't then restrict it to a limited list of locations.
