NATS allows you to create special join options and payouts for specific affiliates. This can be used to reward better-performing affiliates. 

## Special Join Options

To create a special join option go to the [Sites Admin](/nats-admin/sites.md), edit a pre-existing tour and add a new join option to your list of options. Edit your new join option's settings to your liking, and then click Save.

After saving the new option, click the "Rules" tab, and add a "Show" rule with the name of the affiliate you would like to create a special option for. Specify what tour, program, country, and biller you would like to use for this option, and click "Save Rule." This will create a new join option that can only be used by the specified affiliate.

## Special Payouts

You can also give your affiliate a special payout for this new join option. To do so, go to the [Programs Admin](/nats-admin/programs.md) and create a new disabled program. For your new program, set the program payouts and then add the tour you edited above to the program. From here you can manually add a specified affiliate to the program by clicking the "Affiliates" tab and selecting the affiliate(s) you want this program to apply. Once you have done this, edit the Special Join Option's Rule Target to include your special program.
