Please share your thoughts on mentioning PMP credential in Business cards.

What is there to think about? I am not sure if I am missing something in your question. You can include or not include - your choice and depend on the value you see.

My view : Instead of certification, better to mention your role, designation on business card.

It depends on who you give it to. If you are meeting someone in a professional PM capacity, then it is good to let them know that you are PMP certified.
If you are giving it to friends or anybody else, its doesnt add much value.
If possible print 2 sets, one with the certification and one without and give it accordingly

I personally and most of my colleagues mention our designation, post and PMP Certification on our business cards like this:

Rami Kaibni, PMP
Senior Project Manager

In my opinion, it is a good idea to add PMP to your card.

Congratulations, Senkodi, on achieving your PMP. It's a great moment to celebrate!

I have a personal card without my designations. My business card does include my designations.

I use the same principle in my email signatures. Because I can be on different projects in different roles, I only put the certifications that are appropriate for my project role.

This depends largely on the intended use of your business card and how you would like to present yourself to the audience. In some venues, the PMP designation is important to mention and in others it is just a show off that means nothing.

Congratulations for your new achievement, well done.

I created business cards for the purpose of networking and job hunting. These cards have my top certifications. I also show them on LinkedIn.
My business cards supplied by my company do not have my certifications. They do not mean as much there.
It depends somewhat. I did work hard for my PMP and ACP so I do like to show them.

If you are working in an organisation where people never heard of PMI or any of its certifications like myself than probably it wouldn't make any difference ( as you would only be explaining what PMP or ACP... actually means) but otherwise there is no reason why wouldn't you tell people that you are equipped with the right tools to manage projects in a better / methodical way

If the credentials are a reflection of your role and responsibilities in the organization, I say put them in your signature.

Yes, people will ask you what it means. That's part of being a PMI certification holder: building awareness in PMI and its certifications.

I have my certifications on my business card.

At time it trigger a discussion on what they are, a excellent way to network. Explain what or what expertise you bring.
