The worst oart part is it was a 4 night stay and they couldn’t even book the 4th night with the Certificate even after paying for the first 3 with points. That was truly disappointing.
No, it's doable. Book the 4 night stay with points. Then call Hyatt reservations and tell them you want to use a cert for one of the nights. It stays as a single reservation. You can also call reservations and ask them to book the whole thing.

It's possible to split payment methods on a single reservation but you can't do it on the website.
