The itinerary is only one way and I won't be checking a bag.

For example today's flight which leaves around 5pm, just opened up a biz award. At this point Thursday I would have already completed the first leg and be waiting for departure.
It still should be no problem even if you've already checked in, although you may have to HUCA to find a competent agent.
