Keep in mind that the rules a different for Hotels and Resorts at five Rewards-legacy brands. The Platinum Elite breakfast benefit at Hotels is based on Guaranteed Lounge Access (as in the old Rewards program), but at Resorts, it's based on the Guaranteed Welcome Gift (as in the old SPG program).

The $20 most likely is the cost of breakfast. Allows one to take something other than the offered breakfast buffet. Ie a special dish from an a la carte menu, etc..
