Short answer: Yes, OnStar runs a Military Appreciation offer on its plans and Connected Services for eligible members, but it is handled through an OnStar Advisor rather than a public coupon code or a fixed published percentage, and it does not apply to OnStar data plans.
Who qualifies
The broader GM Military Appreciation Program covers Active Duty members, Reservists, National Guard members, Veterans, and Retirees of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Eligible members can also sponsor their spouse. The OnStar offer is available to select members of the U.S. military within those groups.
What you get
OnStar offers a military appreciation discount on eligible OnStar plans and Connected Services for verified members. Two things to know: it does not apply to OnStar data plans, and GM does not publish a fixed national percentage for it. Because the exact savings can change and depend on your plan, confirm the current offer when you contact OnStar rather than relying on a set number you saw quoted elsewhere.
How to claim it
The OnStar discount itself is activated through OnStar, not through a checkout code. Press the blue OnStar button in your Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac and ask the OnStar Advisor about military appreciation product availability, activation, and details. They confirm eligibility and apply the offer to your account.
For the wider GM Military Appreciation Program, including vehicle purchase or lease offers, you register at gmmilitaryappreciation.com and verify your military status through ID.me. That step issues an authorization number for an eligible vehicle and is separate from the OnStar Connected Services offer, so use the blue OnStar button for the OnStar discount specifically.
