If you post up your full checkout.tpl I'll modify it for you. Otherwise, use this code as a basis (I've modified mine so there may be changes)

Note that this is going to move the payment method above for all payment methods, not just the gift certificates.

FIND THIS CODE IN skin1/customer/main/checkout.tpl

Here it is.

{include file="location.tpl" last_location=$lng.lbl_payment_details}
{if $payment_data.payment_method ne ""}
<h5>{$lng.lbl_payment_method}: {$payment_data.payment_method}</h5>
{capture name=dialog}
