If it is prepaid via Amex Travel, it probably is not eligible for stay credit - but you still may want to book that way because 10,000 MR points (worth $100+) likely trumps GP credit for a $500 stay. You could always split the stay and combine with a Hyatt direct booking for additional nights, and of course get stay/night credit for that booking, making it irrelevant whether or not the amex booking is eligible for stay credit.
