Last year I did something similar but realized 10 minutes before departure. Fortunately the gate was only 100 ft from the Sky Club. Unfortunately the GA closed the door at T-8 and myself and 5 other PAX missed the flight. All of us were re-booked on the next flight, and the two of us who were diamond had our upgrades cleared as well (we were standing in line at customer service together).
Ever since, I have religiously obeyed the 15 minute rule...
