Sorry in advance, I'm sure this has been hashed over before here BUT:

Does or when does participation in the FAA Wings program exempt me from having a BFR or whatever they call it these days?

Wings satisfies the ground training portion. Quite likely better than 1 hour with your instructor.
Still gotta do the flying.

I sat through two webinars recently. Audio problems with both, they
said it was only supported on Chrome browsers, so switched to Chrome on
Win 10 and still didn't work. Except half way through, it started
working spontaneously. If they give a phone number at the beginning, be
sure to record it. Don't know how general that problem is.

Also, the seminars I looked at had a limit of 100 "seats" and missed out
on one due to it being fully booked. Some of them are on interesting
topics, but not related to airmanship or regulations, so may not be as
effective as actually sitting down with an instructor. Wings has been
around for years, thought they'd have the kinks worked out better by
nnow. The two I sat through had excellent slides, but audio problems
really detracted from the presentation.
