I am not an attorney but.... Yes, you can keep any loans or credit cards as long as you reaffirm with that company.
When you file, you list all your creditors. If you do not owe money to a specific credit card, then they are not considered a creditor. So, when its all over with, you can use the card. However, the card will eventually know that you filed, because they "check up" on you once in a while and they will find out. Then they may cancel it or just raise your interest rate.
Why would you keep unsecured debt? One should list every creditor to whom they owe money prior to filing. Failing to do so is a violation of bankruptcy laws. Sure, you can reaffirm secured loans if you can afford the collateral under the terms of the note. All unsecured debt should be discharged in chapter 7.
