American business-style: Traditionally written with periods
Subfusc-style: Without periods
It's a way of telling what sort of upbringing you had, just like which hand do you use your knife on is a tell for whether you were brought up with European or American manners.

I prefer them without periods, as it makes them look cleaner. Same with lab coats. No clue what is proper though.
My business card lists them with periods.
My e-mail signature does not.
I don't think it makes a lick of difference.
Don't do two periods for the M.B.A and leave the third period off- that looks sloppy.

Thank you!
people have business cards still?
I think no periods looks cleaner (i.e. John Smith, PharmD, RPh). I wouldn't over think it though/either way is fine....my company gave me some which is the only reason I have any.
I don't think it's commonplace to include M.B.A. on a business card to begin with, only professional certifications/licenses.
While I think they all look cleaner without periods, it's probably better to have them. I am looking at a few research papers now and the authors all list their credentials with periods.

Perhaps this is only within pharmacy? I'd imagine the average person would know what a M.B.A. is, but not the 100 other pharmacy titles?
