We're a family of four and I felt like we overspend in those categories until these promos. LOL. I tried to top off each one with easy gift cards when I added up at the end of the month and realized I was short. Kroger Pay worked once in the store last month for a gift card with my other groceries at self checkout, I think it was a Disney over 200, but since then asks for a drivers license to be keyed in which requires an employee if using self check and even then usually the transaction gets denied. Meanwhile you have people getting irritated behind you while the employee keys in a 12 digit alphanumeric license number only for it to get denied. If I use the card on the reader manually the whole transaction goes through fine but you lose out on online. Anyway, these (plus my Doordash option dying) were some of the reasons I was scrambling on the last few days to make sure I was covered.
Sounds like you are getting stressed out trying to always double dip online spend offer and GGR offer.

If you have the $1K online spend offer, it spans last two weeks of month #1 and first two weeks of month #2.
At least that is how it is for me.
So, to double dip, you need $500+ grocery pickup per month
and
another $500 or $1500 GGR which doesn't need to be grocery pickup.

With DoorDash may be try ordering gift cards on their website instead of the app if you are using their app.
And try different web browsers when ordering on the website; Firefox instead of Chrome or Chrome instead of Firefox.
