I'm assuming you mean near the end of the entire tourney, and not near the end of the rebuy period, yes? If that's the case, this is very much so backwards strategy.
In a satellite, "near the end," the short stacks pick on the big stacks, and not the opposite like you are used to. If you had a big stack, you were all but guaranteed a seat. Just sit there and fold everything, or litertally walk away if you can't control yourself.
Remember, when you are on the bubble (extreme example), you're not playing to win - you're playing to NOT lose. In this tourney, for example, with 10 players left, there were about to be 9 winners and only one more loser. Just fold, and let the short stacks battle it out to decide who the loser is going to be. There is no need AT ALL to risk any of your chips and potentially your seat. There was no upside of you gambling there - only downside. So just fold and pat yourself on the back when the bubble finally bursts.
Overall though - nice job. Sounds like you played just right during the rebuy period.
