If it's coded as TK*G on the boarding pass, it could possibly work (for this trip), unless there is a different system for authorization. Depending on how you feel about possibly being denied publicly, you could give it a try. The access rules say that you only need to present your boarding pass with *G written on it. The card only needs to be produced if your boarding pass is not coded.
" You will need to present your boarding pass for a Star Alliance flight departing from the local airport. If your boarding pass does not carry the Star Alliance Gold indicator, you will need also to show your valid Star Alliance Gold card. "
