True.
If you are offered a free re-bid, however, I would advise you not accept it. You can usually get the room for less than half of the rebid price.
For example: I recently bid $130 for a resort in Honolulu. Denied, with an offer to try again for $147. I declined, added a zone that did not have a resort, and rebid for $136. Got the room.
