German term

Akzeptanzstelle

German to English Bus/Financial Marketing / Market Research Credit Cards
"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 (asker) 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

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.

accepted at x million outlets worldwide

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.

Thank you, Alison!
Peer comment(s):

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!
