I think what they are saying is you still get your usual points for the stay itself when you use a gift card (and the usual benefits, etc.), but you don't earn those same points when you buy a gift card (so you can't double dip). And it sounds like you may or may not get the Hyatt credit card bonus when you buy the gift card itself, depending on if it codes as Hyatt or as the third party gift card company that runs their program.
