+1 on Kiron's response. It really depends on current experience, career needs, career aspirations, etc. What are you hoping or expecting that having the ACP will provide?
As a point of reference, I do not have my ACP. It was on my radar a couple years back, but at this time, I don't feel it will add much value for me. Saving Changes...

Kiron’s feedback is spot on. It all depends on your career path, goals and experience. For me, PMI-ACP was extremely beneficial.

If you want to learn more about agile, start with agilemanifesto.org, then skim over the Agile Practice Guide from PMI, and then read Choose Your WoW. The latter two are available as free PDF downloads for PMI members.

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
