The Hyatt website will sometimes show an incorrect Co-Pay for a Points + Cash listing.

Yes to both. Guaranteed availability means you're going to be paying the rack rate, so it would count.

I suspect that an incorrect Co-Pay on the website will not work to the customer's benefit. Recently the website showed me Points + Cash copay at a Cat 3 property at $50 ... but it should have been $75. I booked it at $50 and the confirmation said $75. I phoned Hyatt Reservations because the website price was lower than my confirmed price. Hyatt reservations verified that the website is wrong and the CoPay is $75 at every Cat 3 property.
So, if the website shows a price which is too low, the customer does not get the benefit of that error. You get the correct (higher) price instead.
I don't know what would happen if the website shows a price which is too high. e.g. the website shows $85 but it really should be $75.
Based on this and other experiences: if website shows too high of a rate, phone in and book it.

I believe he is saying that the website showed $50 but his confirmation email stated the correct rate of $75, so he was calling to complain and try to get the lower rate that was showing on the website.
