Chevrolet Military & Veteran Discount
A below-MSRP GM Military Appreciation program price on eligible new Chevrolets — verified through ID.me and stackable with most current incentives.
Chevrolet’s military discount runs through the GM Military Appreciation Program, which also covers Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. Eligible service members and veterans get a special below-MSRP program price on eligible new GM vehicles — and unlike a coupon, it stacks with most current GM incentives, which is what makes it worth the paperwork.
GM doesn’t publish a fixed percentage; the value varies by model and month, so any specific "% off" you see on an aggregator is unverified. You verify once through ID.me, pull an authorization number (two per year, valid 90 days), and bring it to a participating dealer before delivery.
This is an independent guide — we’re not affiliated with GM, Chevrolet, or ID.me, and GM controls the program and can change or withdraw it at any time (Rules & Guidelines Rev 1/2/26). Confirm the current terms and eligible vehicles on GM’s official program page before you buy.

HOW TO REDEEM
Online at www.chevrolet.com
- Verify military status through ID.meCreate a GM My Account, then verify through ID.me — using a USAA account, a .mil email, military service records, or uploaded documents (LES, DD214, retiree statement). A CAC/military ID card is not accepted due to Title 18 restrictions.
- Get an authorization numberClick Get Authorization Number on gmmilitaryappreciation.com and request one. You get two per calendar year, each valid 90 days — the dealer must have it before delivery.
- Take it to a participating dealerBring the authorization number — plus a copy of your driver’s license with the number redacted — to a participating GM dealer before delivery. Dealer participation is voluntary and can vary by vehicle line.
- Stack most current incentives on topThe dealer applies the program price; you can combine it with most current GM offers and incentives (and GM Mobility reimbursements). Time the buy to a strong national cash/APR month, since those incentives swing monthly.
HOW IT WORKS
GM uses ID.me to confirm eligibility — via a USAA account, a .mil email, military service records, or uploaded documents such as an LES within 30 days, a DD214, or a retiree statement. A CAC/military ID card is not accepted due to Title 18 restrictions. Once verified, you no longer show proof at the dealer, but you must still bring the authorization number and a redacted driver’s license.
The program’s edge is stacking. GM’s FAQs say you can combine the program price with most current GM offers and incentives, and it can also be combined with GM Mobility reimbursements. The hard walls: it cannot be combined with GM’s First Responder, Educator, College, Family First, Supplier, Dealership Employee, Supplier-for-Friends, or Executive Referral/Employee Purchase programs — those are strictly either/or, so if you also qualify for one, compute each and take the single lowest total.
The mechanics reward planning: up to two vehicles per calendar year (two authorization numbers, each valid 90 days), a 6-month retention requirement, and new/unused vehicles only (demo units under 7,500 miles may qualify). National cash and APR incentives swing monthly, so the whole strategy is to buy in a deep-incentive window and stack the program price on top. If you’re overseas, you can arrange the offer online and take delivery in the U.S.
Exclusions & fine print
- No published percentage — the value is a variable, model-specific below-MSRP program price, not a fixed % or dollar figure.
- Cannot combine with GM First Responder, Educator, College, Family First, Supplier, Dealership Employee, Supplier-for-Friends, or Executive Referral/Employee Purchase programs — those are mutually exclusive with the Military program.
- Up to two new/unused GM vehicles per calendar year (two authorization numbers), with a 6-month retention requirement; personal, noncommercial use.
- New and unused vehicles only (demo units under 7,500 miles may qualify) — confirm CPO/model eligibility on GM’s live Eligible Vehicles list, not on a coupon site.
- Surviving spouses and other family members don’t qualify — only a member’s sponsored spouse.
- Not retroactive; the authorization number must be in the dealer’s hands before delivery; dealers may assess up to a $75 documentation fee (state exceptions apply).
