I do.  I've always offered being excused from the final to all who have a
90% average or better for all tests (I don't include other work), and of
course have missed no tests.  It's a terrific incentive, it appears, and
students always mention it during the semester as a goal.

I grade the last test as quickly as possible, then email or phone students
who are eagerly awaiting the final word.  You'd think I was giving them news
about the birth of a child or winning the lottery.
