German term or phrase: vergünstigt
"Die ganze Welt ***vergünstigt***".
Es geht um eine Headline einer Anzeige, die in einer englischsprachigen Zeitschrift geschaltet werden soll.
Gemeint ist, dass durch die Dienste des Anbieters überall auf der Welt Sonderangebote bei Vertragspartnern genutzt werden können.
Mein bisheriger Ansatz ist:
"Reduced rates all over the world".
So ganz glücklich damit bin ich aber nicht.
Wer kann helfen?

global savings / savings everywhere


Explanation:
Ich bin selbst überrascht, wie häufig der Ausdruck "global savings" bei google auftaucht.
Vielleicht auch:
We help you save
We make the world affordable

agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): das gefällt mir gut "discount" klingt so nach billigen Läden wie Aldi; this is more up-beat; of course, you are a marketing specialist among other things, as I looked at your very impressive CV :)

  -> Danke schön, Ingeborg - jetzt werde ich gleich rot! Nichts gegen Aldi (heißt hier übrigens "Hofer"), aber das Wort "discount" macht mich auch eher misstrauisch ...

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: maybe "at greatly discounted prices" http://www.cosmetique.com/ PS: sort of, thought about it after I submitted ; but maybe "everything at greatly discounted rates, around the world"

  -> Thank you, Bernhard // I just noticed that in your answer note, you've submitted: I would not recommend "the world at..." Do I see a paradox there?//Well drafted, Bernhard :-)

at incredible rates


Explanation:
or "just"

"at special (contracted) rates

might be closest to vergünstigt" in the sense of "for less money", "discounted".
