You used the term "BFR" and I echoed it, my bad to use terms you seem to
understand and not correct you.

Yes, completing an additional pilots rating takes the place of a Flight
Review as required by 61.56.
A flight review can be completed with one hour of ground school and one hour
of flight as a minimum.
An additional rating is not so easily accomplished. Are you ready for an
average 2 hour oral exam with an FAA DPE on your aviation knowledge in the
FARS, weather and AIM?

But you were not talking about getting a BFR, you were talking about
getting
an Additional Rating instead of a BFR.

I think that is what I said "Glider RATING near Sacramento", "I'm
thinking about getting a glider RATING for my BFR this summer". There
is no FAA definition of the term "BFR" but most consider a BFR to be
the currency requirements of 61.56 of which an additional checkride OR
a CFI signature equally qualifies.
