Agreed with others. It's easily doable, but you need to contact Hyatt somehow (Call, DM on Twitter, etc). It's the same rules for whether a TSU is available.
You can either book the standard suite wholly on points.
OR you can pay an eligible rate and pay a points surcharge on top of that to get the suite upgrade
OR you can book the room via any eligible rate (cash or points) and then apply a TSU if you have them.
A neat option is that
#1 and
#2 allow you to upgrade to higher than standard suites as well.
